Overview

Randomized trial examines links between early adversity and postpartum depression in women following assisted reproduction, suggesting intervention targets.

Key Points

  • To explore psychosocial and relational factors linking early adversity and postpartum depression in women undergoing assisted reproduction.
  • Analyzed a sample of 149 Spanish women up to 12 months postpartum after ART.
  • Assessed predictors including adverse childhood experiences, maternal self-efficacy, attachment styles, couple satisfaction, and financial concerns.
  • Utilized hierarchical regression analyses and mediation models to evaluate relationships.
  • Economic worry and low maternal self-efficacy explained 29% of the variance in postpartum depression.
  • Attachment anxiety partially mediated the relationship between childhood abuse and postpartum depression (β = 0.018, 95% CI [0.0002, 0.0396]).
  • Maternal self-efficacy partially mediated the association between financial concerns and postpartum depression (β = 0.096, 95% CI [0.0003, 0.2533]).
